IS316 Computer Sys Analys & Design II

for F2R 2008

Mission Statement: The mission of Park University, an entrepreneurial institution of learning, is to provide access to academic excellence, which will prepare learners to think critically, communicate effectively and engage in lifelong learning while serving a global community.

Vision Statement: Park University will be a renowned international leader in providing innovative educational opportunities for learners within the global society.

Course Description: Continuation of IS 315. The student will continue to study the concepts and methods used in a system development life cycle. In addition, the student will gain practical experience by working on various projects. The student will use a CASE tool for his/her project work. Pre-requisite: <a href='index.aspx?Class=IS315'>IS315</a>. 3:0:3

Educational Philosophy: All classes will combine lecture with group discussion. In addition, the instructor will facilitate classroom exercises for students to apply processes and methodologies in modeling techniques. Additional handouts will be provided periodically. Outside research for class discussion is encouraged. Students will be encourage to "think outside the box" when applying textbook knowledge when it comes to designing the database schema and graphical user interfaces, (input and output screens).

Practice key concepts of analysis and design as well as advance techniques such as JAD, Prototyping, USE CASES and/or other OOA/OOD techniques.

Evaluate strengths/weaknesses and applicable roles of several strategies/methodologies for design of information systems including Model Driven, RAD, Agile, OO development, and Prototyping.

Apply Quality Assurance steps that can be taken in all phases of development to ensure a quality product and user acceptance.

Communicate both orally and in writing as an individual and as a member of a team.

Core Assessment:

All ParkUniversity courses must include a core assessment that measures the relevant Departmental Learning Outcomes. The purpose of this assessment is to determine if expectations have been met concerning mastery of learning outcomes across all instructional modalities. The core assessment for this course is a final exam which counts for 20% of the grade. Questions on the final exam will be developed to test at least eight of the ten course core objectives.

a. Read all assignments from the text prior to class and participate in class discussion.

b. Take all tests (mid-term and final).

c. Draw a fully attributed data model using a self-selected form, normalize the data captured on it, and identify the metadata associated with the form data. Students will use Visio to draw their project's model. Those students unfamiliar with Visio will be given instruction on it's use.

d. Prepare a report on an information system concept and present it to the class.

e. Optional. A 3 page double spaced paper discussing an information system topic. This option is for any students wishing to improve their grade.

Grading:

Mid-term Exam 35% 100 pts.

Final Exam 35% 100 pts.

Modeling Project 15% 50 pts.

Presentation 10% 10 pts.

Class Participation 5%

Late Submission of Course Materials: If course material is late due to military deployment or other acceptable reasons and the student pre-coordinates with the instructor, the instructor will work with the student to meet their obligations. Additional/replacement work may include providing written responses to instructor identified end-of-chapter questions. May also include problems/exercises.

Classroom Rules of Conduct: Class participation is expected and will be considered for part of the final grade. Students are expected to be on time, attend all classes, and remain in class for the entire class session. Roll will be taken during each class. Classes missed for legitimate reasons, such as illness or temporary duty, are excusable. Any student finding themselves unable to make a class, please notify the instructor. Three unexcused absences are considered excessive, and could be considered grounds for a failing grade. Students performing temporary duty must provide the instructor with a copy of orders. Students are encouraged to call the instructor. This syllabus is only a guide. The instructor reserves the right to deviate from it for the betterment of the class.

Academic Honesty:Academic integrity is the foundation of the academic community. Because each student has the primary responsibility for being academically honest, students are advised to read and understand all sections of this policy relating to standards of conduct and academic life. Park University 2008-2009 Undergraduate Catalog Page 87

Plagiarism:Plagiarism involves the use of quotations without quotation marks, the use of quotations without indication of the source, the use of another's idea without acknowledging the source, the submission of a paper, laboratory report, project, or class assignment (any portion of such) prepared by another person, or incorrect paraphrasing. Park University 2008-2009 Undergraduate Catalog Page 87

The instructor may excuse absences for valid reasons, but missed work must be made up within the semester/term of enrollment.

Work missed through unexcused absences must also be made up within the semester/term of enrollment, but unexcused absences may carry further penalties.

In the event of two consecutive weeks of unexcused absences in a semester/term of enrollment, the student will be administratively withdrawn, resulting in a grade of "F".

A "Contract for Incomplete" will not be issued to a student who has unexcused or excessive absences recorded for a course.

Students receiving Military Tuition Assistance or Veterans Administration educational benefits must not exceed three unexcused absences in the semester/term of enrollment. Excessive absences will be reported to the appropriate agency and may result in a monetary penalty to the student.

Report of a "F" grade (attendance or academic) resulting from excessive absence for those students who are receiving financial assistance from agencies not mentioned in item 5 above will be reported to the appropriate agency.

Disability Guidelines:Park University is committed to meeting the needs of all students that meet the criteria for special assistance. These guidelines are designed to supply directions to students concerning the information necessary to accomplish this goal. It is Park University's policy to comply fully with federal and state law, including Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, regarding students with disabilities. In the case of any inconsistency between these guidelines and federal and/or state law, the provisions of the law will apply. Additional information concerning Park University's policies and procedures related to disability can be found on the Park University web page: http://www.park.edu/disability .
